Anybody can make crust or spread sausage or other stuff on a pizza but it is the Sauce that makes the pizza and that is a New York thing. If someone in the Villages wants to make a good pizza go to New York City, little Italy or similar, buy a pint of their sauce and then bring it back to the Villages and work until you have copied it. Have eaten pizza in Italy in Naples, Rome, Milan, Arce, etc and NY City is similar in taste because they are from the areas and their mothers use to make the sauce. I have not tasted anything like the real sauce in The Villages and don't understand why someone who specials in Pizza doesn't just go to the real source and copy it. In a lot of cases they will not share how they make the sauce. My mother in law, who came from Italy made the best meat balls and sauce you could ever eat BUT she never really gave out how she made anything.
